!!! 3 !!!

Posted on May 13, 2014 by Henrietta Handy

I Tell Ya…SOME Stories……

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Henrietta Handy

By this I mean:  Some stories will not let themselves be told except in a certain medium.  Usually my stories come out by typing steadily, sometimes doggedly at the keyboard.  Some stories, however, will not let themselves be told except … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Henrietta Handy

Much to my surprise I received several comments – most had to be deleted because of foul, offensive language – about the state of my abode from yesterday’s picture.  Yes, the house is a mess.  Does anyone want to come … Continue reading →
